Let \"x\" = pounds of cookies the factory made
\n" ); document.write( "\".18x+=+300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1666.66667\" lbs
\n" ); document.write( "\"1\" lb = \".45359\" kg
\n" ); document.write( "\"1666.66667\" lbs x \".45359\" kg/lb = \"755.983\" kg
\n" ); document.write( "The factory made 755.983 kg of cookies\r
